Feedback about Joivy Affordable Edinburgh - Adults Only from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Joivy Affordable Edinburgh - Adults Only is often praised for its convenient location near Leith Walk, with easy access to a tram stop and a bus station right across the street, making it simple to reach the city center and airport. Guests appreciate the clean, well-maintained rooms, some of which are spacious and equipped with kitchen facilities, including a fridge, kettle, and basic cookware; studio rooms are recommended for more space and come with a microwave and electric oven. While generally a good value, some guests have found the rooms small. Free hot water and coffee are available in the lounge, and the hotel is within walking distance of attractions like Calton Hill and the Royal Mile.

tram access essential facilities tidy room
The location provided convenient access to a tram stop directly outside. This made accessing various points of interest straightforward. The room I occupied was tidy. It contained all essential facilities.
The walls seemed rather thin. Sounds from the hallway were clearly audible.

Convenient and Secure Stay

tram station helpful team
The location proved convenient with the tram stop situated just across from the building. I appreciated the presence of a nearby supermarket. It made acquiring essentials very easy. The security measures in place. The team members were helpful and friendly.
The room lacked a refrigerator which limited my ability to store drinks and snacks. The absence of a television was also a small disappointment. It would be nice with a small fridge in the room.
Facilities
8/10
The gym provides essential equipment for basic workouts. It includes a treadmill and some weights. The presence of a pool table adds some recreational opportunities. The cinema room is a nice extra for enjoying movies on-site.

Functional Stay Near Leith Walk

functional facilities clean room helpful staff
The location near Leith Walk suited me well. I found the room and facilities clean. Staff were friendly and helpful when I spoke with them (Paul at the reception was amazing!).
The shower felt a bit small. The door only opened halfway, so getting in and out felt tight. I also experienced no hot water one day.
